Multiple heat records broken across B.C. on Sunday

People try and beat the heat by enjoying the river in Lynn Valley in North Vancouver, B.C. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. (Jonathan Hayward/THE CANADIAN PRESS) Regions of British Columbia experienced the hottest June 8 on record this weekend, with some parts of the province shattering heat records over 70 years old. Twelve daily heat records were broken on Sunday, as the early season summer weather saw temperatures reaching as high as the mid to high 30s in some parts of the province. According to Environment Canada, Williams Lake, Whistler, Squamish, Princeton, Pitt Meadows, Pemberton, Lytton, Kamloops, Clinton and Abbotsford all broke the 30 C mark, with Lytton reaching temperatures of 39 C and Pemberton recording highs of 36 C. Abbotsford recorded temperatures of 31 C, marking the hottest June 8 in the city since 30 C was reached in 1955. The temperature in Pitt Meadows was so unseasonably warm at 31 C it broke a record over a hundred years old, with the heat rising a degree higher than its previous record in 1903. Environment Canada issued a warning Friday of an 'early season heat event' that would bring a sharp spike in temperatures to much of southern B.C. Over 20 special weather statements were made throughout the province. The weather agency forecasts the sizzling temperatures to continue throughout Monday, before the week peters off into cooler territory. 'High temperatures will persist into the week in Howe Sound, Whistler and Pemberton, and inland regions of Vancouver Island,' Environment Canada said in an update Monday. 'Temperatures will cool on Tuesday elsewhere in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island.'
